No, I don't cook in tin-cans. I live and cook in a 35" travel trailer I call a Tin Can, with fond affection of course.I cook mostly from scratch using organic/natural/sustainable produce, grains, and beans, meats, and dairy. I hope I can give you some tips on how I shop frugally making a dollar stretch.

Easter Dinner in our TinCan

Living in Texas makes it hard to find leg of lamb. Its cattle cattle cattle here. I did fine a lamb steak at HEB. I marinated it and grilled it along with partial cooked red potatoes/onions/mushrooms, steamed asparagus, deviled eggs, and homemade fruit salad.Marinaded Lamb 2 servingsCombine: 1/3 C olive oil, minced clove of garlic, 1/2 teaspoon oregano and mint, 1/2 juiced lemon, and salt and pepper to taste.Put this in a zip lock bag and add the lamb steak. Put in frig all day. Approximately 5 hours.I cooked our lamb steak on our inside grill.

I love this grill. I have a flat side too for pancakes. I no longer fry taco shells I use this.

Fruit Salad 4 servings

Early in the day I cut up one peeled apple, one grapefruit WITH JUICE, 1 can of rinsed mandarin oranges.The grapefruit juice is a substitute for lemon juice keeping the apple from turning color.Grilled Red Potatoes 2 servings

Cook or microwave two red potatoes. Cut in pieces and add: onion chunks, and mushroom halved.Add3 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon mint and oregano, salt and pepper.Grill on a grill until done.
